track hitting tunnel

vern7483 · Jan 19, 2015

i just got my new track installed on my 02 mountain cat. track is a 151 2.25 lug. as i rotate the track, the track hits the top of the tunnel right behind the driver. is there any adjustments that can be made to make it clear? or do i need to do some trimming?

Is the track notched to clear the heat exchangers?

i put different heat exchangers off a 04 mt cat. no problem with the heat exchangers, just the tunnel

ok, i think i figured out the problem. the track i bought was said to be a 2.52 pitch....well i believe its a 2.86 camolplast part #5412967. so....can i get 2.86 drivers for a mountain cat?

It appears that is a Polaris 155x2.4 track?
So yes, 2.86 pitch. You can either get cat 3" pitch drivers and turn them down on a lathe, or get 2.86" pitch drivers from an aftermarket company, say Avid.

If I go with the 2.86 drivers. Will I need to re gear?

Was your sled a 151before? Did you have to extend your rails or get a different suspension?
It also depends a little on whether you get 7 or 8 tooth drivers. In that chassis, I'd probably say 7 tooth.
I'll do a little math at a real computer, but I bet that is already going to gear you down some, which is the direction you'd want to go with a bigger track.

sled was originally a 144 and i extended the rails.
